Gotye被網(wǎng)友親切的稱為鍋貼哥
Gotye的這首《Somebody That I Used to Know》,無論是個歌詞和旋律都很喜歡!我覺得歌名翻譯成《最熟悉的陌生人》比較貼切,當然也有人很搞笑地把它直譯成《有些人用過了才知道》。竟然找到了視頻,和大家分享如下:
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)
歌詞:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
Gotye在1980年出生于比利時的Bruges,在他兩歲的時候,全家移居
Gotye到了澳大利亞墨爾本。在他上學時,他的父母選擇Walter作為Gotye的名字。
在很小的時候,Gotye就表現(xiàn)出了對音樂的熱情,開始學習各種樂器,尤其喜歡鋼琴還有鼓。在他少年時期,Gotye和他的3個高中好友組成了樂隊Downstares,Gotye是樂隊的主要創(chuàng)作人,他們的音樂反應出Gotye喜歡的音樂家Depeche Mode和Kate Bush對他的影響。
在高中畢業(yè)后,Downstares的成員開始四處分離。在2001年,Gotye的父母搬家,在Victoria的Montmorency留下一座房子以便讓Gotye完成學業(yè)。Gotye的兩個朋友住了進來,這座房子也被親切的稱為“The Frat House",Gotye的朋友時常的會來這座房子拜訪或者留宿,終于,Gotye又可以繼續(xù)他們的音樂夢想了。Gotye的音樂之夢始于他收到的一堆錄音帶——他的一個老鄰居的已經(jīng)去世了的太太,在這些年中錄制的他們樂隊的排練時的錄音帶。
